Declaring another investment of Rs 50,000 crore in short time chief minister Yogi Adityanath said that investments to the tune of Rs 60,000 crore in just five month time was a great achievement and has paved way for a faster development of the state besides providing jobs to the youths.
“During their five year rule Bahujan Samaj Party government just attracted an investments of Rs 57 ,000 crore and Samajwadi Party during the similar tenure had an investment of Rs 50,000 crores. But we crossed them in just five month time. It only proves that those who want to work can do anything,” he said here on Sunday while addressing the ground breaking ceremony where Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation of 81 projects worth over Rs 60,288 crore which will generate 2 lakh jobs.
Yogi also assured the industrialists and the investors of full cooperation and promised that government would stand by them in the case of any law and order problem.
CM announced that it was just the first phase of the projects and very soon another series of projects worth over Rs 50,000 crores would commence for which ground work is under preparation.
He said that UP has been successful in attaining a position in top 5 states in the country in terms of ease of doing business which in turn had helped the state to attract the investments. Earlier UP used to attract investments in some particular area and in specific region but now the investments are spread out in the entire state. In the total investments of Rs 60,288 crore, 51 per cent was for western UP, 27 per cent for central and Bundelkhand and rest 22 per cent was for Poorwanchal,” he said.
Welcoming the Prime minister, Yogi said that five months back at the same place he had promised Modi to achieving the goal and now it is on the ground.
State industry minister Satish Mahana, while welcoming the guests , said that earlier there was a distance between the industrialists and the government but we removed it.
“PM and UP CM had given a message to the industrialists and it had worked in the state,” he said announcing that very soon another big programme would be held to launch the remaining projects in the state.
